Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting Bamboo Island, where you'll find a scenic beach and a wide variety of water activities such as snorkeling, diving, and sunbathing. However, if you have less time, consider skipping Viking Cave. Although it's a place with a fascinating history, it's primarily a nesting area for bird's nests, and you'll only be able to view it from the speedboat or kayak.
